Why Place My Genealogical Website, Database or Records on CanadianHeadstones.com?

There are many benefits to placing records on CanadianHeadstones.com:

The service will be at no cost to you, in almost all cases.

The longevity of the records is preserved for future generations.

You can remain in control of the records.

Your URL would never change. When your URL changes you lose your followers and users. You have no worries about the information becoming difficult to locate when an internet company changes their URL or you change your internet supplier.

Your records will be assisting the growth of a Canadian Non-Profit Corporation, not enhancing profits for a large corporation.

Your information would be exposed to the large readership of thousands of users from over 130 countries seeking Canadian records.

What is the Lifespan of CanadianHeadstones.com?

As with any other corporation, CanadianHeadstones.com can continue forever under the control of its Board of Directors.
Why would CanadianHeadstones.com want to provide free hosting of other data?

Adding free hosting of data is simply enhancing the purpose of the corporation which is to gather, archive, publish and disseminate genealogical or historical data or other records of interest to family historians, genealogists, or other researchers.

Having information other than headstone photographs on the site will bring additional traffic. Some visitors to the site may become volunteers submitting headstone photos. This benefit will work both ways by allowing additional traffic to see your family tree and/or data.

Although the website is non-profit, we do offer users a selection of advertisements by Google Adsense. This is necessary to 'pay the bills'. The additional traffic to the hosted websites may bring additional revenue to help support the rapid growth of Canadian Headstones.com.
What is the purpose of CanadianHeadstones.com?

The purpose of the corporation is to gather, archive, publish and disseminate genealogical or historical data or other records of interest to family historians, genealogists, or other researchers.

The initial focus has been the Headstone Project whose mission has been to capture digital images and the complete transcription of headstones of our ancestors. With the continued success of the Headstone Project, it is time to broaden the scope of the site by hosting other genealogy records or transcription data.
How do I Place My Website, Project or Records on CanadianHeadstones.com?

Just contact us through one of our links and give information about your project. We will assess the project, come to an agreement with you and place your project online as quickly as possible.

We are a small, volunteer-driven, non-profit organization. Our only income is advertising on the website and donations from Supporting Members. Our 10-year-old software requires modernization to further enhance our service and to maintain functionality.

After one year of this annoying pop-up, we are still $10,000 short of the $25,000 needed to develop this new platform! If every user for the next month donated at least $10, we could begin writing the software immediately.
